Haunting. The 5-year old narrator gets a little hard to follow but I like figuring out what his interpretation of "adult" things are, Like when he "wants some" and you come to realize that he is referring to breastfeeding, which in and of itself is strange to think of a woman nursing a 5-year-old, but then again, how many people find themselves in their situation.

Donoghue grips the reader and doesn't let up.
